Chapter 118: Creating Items with a Piece of Paper and a Pen
by 不语忧Chapter 118: Creating Tools with Just Paper and a Pen
Wu Yue returned to her room, completely baffled.
So even the captain was weighed down by being a Breeder?
She opened the alliance forum and found it filled with discussions about the newly launched Breeder system.
At the same time, an old post about Breeders was also highly upvoted:
"As the only noble of the Celestial Dragon lineage with the purest bloodline, blessed by both the Holy Angel and the Dragon God, Squire should contribute to the continuation of humanity.
We urge Lord Squire to promptly accept the Breeder missions arranged by the alliance and father more pure-blooded offspring."
This petition had been the hottest post in the Breeder section before the system's launch.
Wu Yue clicked into it and saw nothing but emotional blackmail against Squire in every line.
The Central City, aristocratic families, financial conglomerates, and even the nobility—these were all completely unfamiliar to Wu Yue in her past life.
The photo of Squire in the post was the same person who had caught her mid-air in the World City that day. Wu Yue narrowed her eyes.
The more she looked, the more this person resembled the captain—eerily similar.
.....
The next morning,
Wu Yue collected all her Spirit Summoning Talismans she had previously drawn. Though she hadn’t been able to draw them on-site this time, witnessing the summoning firsthand gave her a deeper understanding of talisman creation.
Steadying her thoughts, she recalled the scenes from the shadow play—where exactly had Yu Wan’s soul been trapped?
What objects had been present then?
Ah—trapped in the shadow puppet!
That was the source. By identifying the source, she could begin drawing from it.
The same logic applied to drawing Spirit Summoning Talismans. Wu Yue studied the intricate talisman script once more and finally figured out the key.
Picking up her brush, she moved in a single, seamless stroke, completing the drawing in one exhilarating motion!
Silently reciting the memorized incantation, the yellow talisman paper and cinnabar merged, emitting a brilliant golden glow.
The moment the Spirit Summoning Talisman was completed, the crystal ball behind Wu Yue burst with blinding radiance, shining like a miniature sun.
Richard, who had already returned to base, was disturbed by the energy surge from the crystal ball. Alarmed, he rushed to Wu Yue’s door and knocked.
Wu Yue opened the door, puzzled. "Richard? What’s wrong?"
Richard said, "Wu Yue, I sensed the crystal ball’s fluctuations..."
As he spoke, his gaze fell upon the shattered pieces of the crystal ball scattered across the floor.
Noticing his shock, Wu Yue blinked. "What happened?"
Richard attempted to repair the crystal ball telekinetically, but failed.
He looked at Wu Yue in disbelief. "The crystal ball couldn't withstand your overwhelming psychic power. It overloaded and shattered."
Wu Yue, "...Was this crystal ball just a bit too fragile?"
Richard shook his head firmly. "No, it's not the crystal ball. This crystal ball is fully capable of withstanding the psychic energy of an S-class psychic at full strength during a frenzy.
"It's you, Wu Yue. You've unknowingly broken through your own psychic limits.
"What did you do? Think—what exactly did you just do?"
Wu Yue produced the Spirit Summoning Talisman she had just drawn. "I drew a talisman."
Richard probed the talisman with his psychic energy, but to his shock, the talisman seemed to generate its own barrier—his psychic energy was completely repelled.
Even with his vast psychic power, he couldn't detect anything about it.
It was just like the psychic defenses in Wu Yue's mind—the talismans she created could also ward off psychic probes.
In fact, after sustaining his psychic probe for too long, Richard felt a sharp pain emanating from his psychic core.
What kind of potent talisman could possess such absolute defensive capabilities?
Were all the talismans Wu Yue had drawn before this powerful!?
Richard turned to her. "Do you have any other talismans you've drawn recently?"
Wu Yue produced the stack of defective Spirit Summoning Talismans. "They're all here."
Richard eagerly took them. "Give them to me. I need to test them."
Wu Yue watched as Richard rushed off, all his usual grace forgotten, her eyes filled with confusion.
As he disappeared around the corner, she called out urgently, "Richard, these talismans all have serious flaws! Be careful when using them!!"
Richard took Wu Yue's talismans into the Blaze cafeteria restroom and replaced the toilet paper with the defective talismans.
Then, he silently waited outside.
Soon, people began entering the restroom.
"Today's food was really delicious. Another happy day."
"Huh? Sir, who are you...?"
"Ganjiang and Moye have heeded their master's call! If our master honors us, we shall give our lives... lives..."
"Wait, sir, you were talking fine—why did you suddenly kill yourself?!"
A slit throat, blood splattering across the floor—one talisman was activated, and the blood on the ground disappeared.
"Hey, why do you look so pale?"
"Do you need to use the restroom?"
"Yeah."
"Maybe... you should try another one. This one isn't clean today."
After walking in: "Huh? It looks perfectly fine to me. Say that and you'll hurt the cleaning bots' feelings."
The sound of flushing. "Splash splash..."
Drying hands. "Swish swish..."
"Who... who are you!"
"This lowly one is Daji, begging for your mercy."
A skeletal face leaned closer, purring in the most alluring voice.
"Tell me, my lord... am I not beautiful?"
"Ahhhh!! A ghost!!!"
The Spirit Summoning Talisman burned midair without fire,
The flirty voice dripped with hurt feelings. "My lord truly lacks tenderness."
The skeleton crumbled into pieces and disintegrated into nothingness.
After scaring two people and confirming the rumor of a haunted bathroom in the cafeteria, Richard put away the remaining Spirit Summoning Talismans.
He realized.
Wu Yue's spiritual energy had fused completely with the crimson gem.
As she drew the talismans, her spiritual energy simultaneously infused them.
If the power represented by that gem was the Arcane Arts and magic,
then these talismans, crafted by Wu Yue and enhanced by her spiritual energy, had long transcended normal arcane limits.
They struggled through brutal dungeon runs to obtain artifacts, while Wu Yue could probably create them with nothing but paper and ink.
